Just when you think raccoons are shameless, they can be even more shameless.

Aunt Haifeng could no longer escape unscathed; since they had all come to blows, she had to leave something behind. Therefore, she had no choice but to hand Jia Xitong a jade bottle, saying, "Inside is the White Jade Life-Sustaining Pill, a top-grade life-saving medicine."

Upon hearing this, Xi Tong immediately beckoned to Li Tuo.

Teacher Tuo opened the bottle, brought his nose to the opening and smelled it, then nodded. It was indeed a good product.

Once Jia Xitong received confirmation, she quickly put the things away, saying, "Aunt Haifeng is coming, why bring such expensive gifts? It's so embarrassing."

Qu Haifeng's smile was almost completely wiped away by her shamelessness. "It's just a small token of my appreciation, don't mention it."

After saying that, she quickly left with her people.

On the way, Qu Haifeng glanced at Xianlong Peak, which had already been set up below, and said, "I heard that this little beast is hated to death by that dead demon lord on this trip to the demonic cultivators' territory?"

"That's right."

The subordinates who followed answered.

The demonic cultivator who was able to severely injure two Martial Saints failed to kill this demonic beast. It's true that good beasts don't live long, but evil ones live for a thousand years.

Qu Haifeng nodded slightly.

She could understand the feelings of the demonic cultivator she had never met, but then she suddenly changed the subject, "When you see this demonic beast in the future, treat it well."

"Your subordinate...does not understand what Peak Master means."

This treacherous and cunning beast has extorted the peak master again today. With such behavior, should we treat it better now?

Of course we should treat it well.

This magical beast belongs to Yan Qing, and it is indeed detestable and hateful. But what if Yan Qing falls into a deep sleep or dies? Then the magical beast will become ownerless.

A small beast with the strength of a Talisman King can draw all kinds of extremely valuable talismans, protect its master, and is also deeply loved by the Martial Saint.

If she could obtain this little beast, it would be more valuable than obtaining a Heaven-Rank Magic Treasure.

"Just do what I say."

Qu Haifeng said coldly.

Xianlong Peak

Unexpectedly, Xi Tong easily drove Qu Haifeng away and even managed to extract the treasure from her hands.

The crisis was averted, much to the relief of everyone who had been on edge.

"Even though the host is unconscious, everyone still needs to be tough."

Jia Xitong flapped her little wings and flew up, looking very arrogant, and said, "Our Xianlong Peak just killed the demon Wan Zhi for the sake of peace among martial cultivators. Moreover, within Dingtian Academy, the dean is above the Martial Saint. Anyone who dares to touch our Xianlong Peak will be killed!"

That's how ruthless they are.

Those who had been feeling insecure suddenly felt confident, and a hint of admiration appeared in their eyes as they looked at the raccoon.

Under this admiring gaze, the fine bucket proudly and arrogantly left with its head held high.

Then……

They flew back up the mountain quickly.

Is Jia Xitong very confident?

"No way," she thought. Actually, she was the most uncertain. The overall strength of Xianlong Peak was only one super-expert and a few average ones. With Shang Yanting, a super expert, the others were just average.

Although Uncle Karl is among the top martial arts practitioners, he is still an unofficial member of Xianlong Peak. She can use Uncle Karl's name to scare away those who come to smooth things over once or twice, but she can't use this excuse every time.

One must be strong to forge iron.

While reassuring the others in the peak, she headed straight for Hu Changxiu's territory.

"Teacher Hu, I've come to see you."

"Small bucket".

Upon seeing Jia Xitong suddenly appear, Hu Changxiu quickly stood up and said, "I...I have already opened the mountain-protecting array as you requested."

“I know, I saw it.”

Jia Xitong nodded.

That wasn't what she wanted to know. "I want to know, after being on the peak for so long, has your research on the Zhou Tian Star Array made any progress?"

The raccoon rubbed its paws together and looked at Hu Changxiu with anticipation.

"Setting up the formation is no problem, but... but we need a magic weapon specifically corresponding to the five elements to act as the core of the formation."

The core of the formation is crucial!

Without a central point to act as the array's core, this situation becomes extremely troublesome. Even if he were to set up the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array, it would collapse instantly due to the lack of a central point.

Jia Xitong nodded; she knew.

Because she had successfully set it up before, and the formation collapsed in just a few seconds.

"What do we do now? We desperately need Teacher Hu to create the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array!"

The raccoon hugged its furry face and sighed deeply.

"Because I don't know which kind of magic weapon can be used as the eye of the array, I dare not try it lightly."

Hu Changxiu pointed out the biggest problem now.

In order to set up the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array, he had tried many magical artifacts related to the Five Elements. However, each attempt ended in failure.

He also considered using a more valuable magical artifact as the array's core, but this idea was quickly rejected.

He didn't have any precious magical artifacts, and even if he did, he wouldn't be willing to risk using them to try and create the array's core. Therefore, there had been no progress on the Zhou Tian Star Array project.

"good."

Jia Xitong nodded.

What's good?

Hu Changxiu was startled by her reaction.

"You know those weapons depots on Xianlong Peak, right? I'll go tell Huo Rui in a bit that you can try anything inside."

As the saying goes, you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub.

The most important thing now is to enhance the overall strength of Xianlong Peak. If the Zhou Tian Star Array can truly be researched, then the outer perimeter of Xianlong Peak will be like a tortoise shell. Even if the other three deans came today, they would be powerless against Xianlong Peak.

"This...this isn't a good idea."

Xi Tong had mentioned this before, but Hu Changxiu didn't dare to.

"Relax, I'll have Niu Chuanchuan assist you. Use what you need to use, spend what you need to spend, don't try to save money just for the sake of saving."

The alchemy task was left to my nineteenth senior brother and Iron Egg Flower.

The matter of the formation was entrusted to Hu Changxiu and Niu Chuanchuan.

If you don't know how to lead a team, you'll have to do this job yourself until you die.

As for what Jia Xitong herself did?

She stayed by Shang Yanting's side every day, spending most of her time drawing talismans. When people encountered problems they couldn't handle, they would go to Huo Rui; only when Huo Rui couldn't handle something would they turn to Little Raccoon.

##

A month after I returned.

Jia Xitong finally fed the last Yuan Chu Tai Yi Pill to Shang Yanting, and he finished it all.

Meanwhile, the nineteenth senior brother and Tie Danhua inevitably experienced pill shattering during the long refining process. Not a single one of the first batch of Yuan Chu Tai Yi Pills was successful; they all turned into pitch-black dregs.

"sorry."

Looking at the once rare and precious treasures turned into a pile of dark things, the nineteenth man felt guilty and heartbroken. "I knew I couldn't do these things well."

"Oh, it's nothing."

She had long anticipated that her nineteenth senior brother would fail several times. "The host's first time refining pills, the alchemy furnace exploded. Senior brother, you don't have the host's talent, so it's normal to ruin a batch."
